In a dynamic meeting in Almaty, Foreign Minister Wang Yi—a key member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee—reaffirmed the Chinese mainland's commitment to multilateralism. During the Sixth China-Central Asia Foreign Ministers' Meeting, he met with Uzbek counterpart Bakhtiyor Saidov to emphasize a united front in defending fairness, justice, and a rules-based global order.
Wang Yi critiqued coercive tactics hiding behind self-interest that fuel trade wars and destabilize markets. He stressed that such actions only undermine credibility and divert from the path of international cooperation.
Highlighting the robust China-Uzbekistan relationship, Wang pointed to their elevated all-weather comprehensive strategic partnership and outlined plans to boost key projects—such as the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway—and expand cooperation in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, digital trade, and climate change. This collaboration aims to drive modernization and spur development on both sides.
Emphasizing a neighborhood diplomacy marked by amity, stability, and mutual benefit, Wang Yi underlined that the Chinese mainland is ready to work hand-in-hand with Uzbekistan and other Central Asian partners to forge a community of shared future. Bakhtiyor Saidov expressed deep appreciation for this spirit of brotherly cooperation and confirmed Uzbekistan’s commitment to upholding WTO rules and supporting strategic global initiatives.
As global challenges evolve, this promising dialogue resonates as a powerful call for unity and smart collaboration—truly capturing the vibrant energy of today’s international scene. 🚀🌏
